​The Cerritos Elementary Education Foundation (CEEF) is a parent-led, volunteer-powered 501(c)(3) nonprofit committed to enriching the educational journey of students at Cerritos Elementary School in Cerritos, California. Through fundraising and strategic grants, CEEF supports a broad range of academic and extracurricular programs that promote excellence in education, cultivate creativity through the arts and music, and enhance the social, emotional, and physical well-being of our students, families, and staff. Our mission is to help create a vibrant, inclusive school community where every child has the opportunity to thrive.

 

CEEF’s Executive Board works year-round to ensure that programs and events are effectively funded and executed. As a non-profit foundation, CEEF follows clear organizational guidelines to ensure compliance with state and federal tax laws. Unlike PTA organizations, which often face stricter limitations, CEEF has greater flexibility in how funds can be used—allowing us to support initiatives that fall outside the scope of PTA or district budgets. In close partnership with our school principal, we identify where support is most needed and how we can make the greatest impact.

 

CEEF is proud to collaborate with the ABC Unified School District, local businesses, private donors, corporations, and philanthropic partners to strengthen and enrich our school community.
